I love Kate Ellis books but this was the first I read in this series and didn't know what to expect even though I had high expectations.
I can say I wasn't disappointed as this is a gripping and fascinating story, a well written historical mystery that kept me turning pages.
This is the third in this series but can be read as a stand alone as there's plenty of backstory.
Albert Lincoln is a well thought and interesting characters, a troubled man who's marked by what he lived during WWI and his personal situation.
The historical background is well researched, vivid and I appreciated how the author describes the relationships between people belonging to different classes and the life in the village.
The plot is complex, gripping and the final twist came as a surprise.
The author is a talented storyteller, the character development is excellent and I loved this story (will surely read the other in this series)
It's strongly recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine
